Wednesday Night Bootleg - Rey v. Rhodes
Rey Mysterio v. Cody Rhodes Lyon France 4/23/11
With Rey possibly winding his career down, here is a great example of the kind of great match he could have right up to the end. Lots of nifty cat and mouse stuff here, with Cody breaking out a bunch of quick athletic counters as well. His jump kick is timed perfectly and he pounces him out of the air with a dropkick as well. Lots of different ways to tease and set up the 619 until the final one (the pin is cut off unfortunately). Rey was taking some big bumps even at a house show, seems crazy to be doing the Pete Rose slide to the floor with no cameras. Man am I going to miss Rey.

Rey is a really good house show worker, it's interesting seeing him work off a house show crowd and get the time to be able to interact with them. From going to WWE house shows, it's clear that Rey and Christian are by far the best babyface workers at knowing how to work a live crowd as opposed to just working for the cameras.
I liked the tease where Rey hit the enziguri, which led to Rhodes tumbling to the ropes, only for him to recover to cut off Rey with a nice dropkick. Nice match.
